Letter from Principal Young

Dear OLOL Families,

Some of you might not share my view on the 2022-2023 school year, but I can’t wait for the year to get started! Due to our growth we are adding many new faces, both with staff, students, and families. I think OLOL does an outstanding job of working with families and trying to bring out the best in our students. The 2022-2023 school year is another opportunity for us to work together to bring out the best in all of us. Let’s get started!

I am proud to announce that we have a new middle school religion/language arts teacher. Mrs. Kim Frye has accepted the position and is anxious to get started. Mrs. Frye has worked in public and parochial schools. Most recently she worked in the Green Bay School district teaching language arts and French. She is excited to bring her faith back into school. Welcome Mrs. Frye!

The Back-to-School packet is being mailed this week. Please check your mailbox over the week-end or early next week.

Please scroll thru this Lourdes Letter as it has alot of information about the 2022-2023 school year. We have information about new staff members, back-to-school night, exciting news about Mrs. Aschenbrenner and much more!

Please reach out if you have questions after you read through the Lourdes Letter and back-to-school packet.

Jeffrey Young

Our Lady of Lourdes Facebook Page By Parents (For Parents)

A group of parents have created a Facebook group for OLOL parents. It is called OLOL Catholic School DePere - Parents.

It is a private Facebook group and is being administered by parents. You will need to be approved to join it, as an OLOL parent.

The hope is that parents can use this page as a way to ask some simple questions quickly, share pictures and things going on at school.

If you have questions or concerns about school, please contact OLOL staff and administration; not this Facebook page.

A priority of Fr. Jim's Lourdes 200 is building a strong community and this Facebook page is geared toward that goal.

Summer Reading Challenge

All students in grades Kindergarten through seventh grade are challenged to read a certain number of books dependent on their grade level. Each child who completes the challenge and returns his/her slip by Monday, August 29 will receive a dress down day slip. In addition, the class with the highest participation rate will receive an extra recess.

The students will receive a physical copy of the challenge sheet before they leave for summer break.

I will be checking my email during the summer. If your challenge sheet gets lost, I can email you a new one. (sbrys@gracesystem.org)

HAPPY READING!
